The main benefits of Chapter Membership are that Chapter Members can attend any chapter's events at reduced pricing and may participate in chapters' members-only activities during the year of their membership.

Out of Area Membership is for those who are not able to attend chapter events but wish to be part of a professional business coaching organization and receive many of the same benefits as Chapter Members.

Benefits of Chapter Membership

PCMA, a non-profit professional association of business coaches, enables member coaches to achieve their goals and aspirations via a number of programs, special events and activities.

Some people join PCMA with the hope of quickly making connections for new business, but successful, seasoned, coaches tell us that a major part of their success comes from their involvement in PCMA and the relationships they develop with other PCMA members, many of whom become close personal friends. It is these relationships and connections that make the difference and make PCMA special.

Some other benefits of your membership:

1. Connecting with coaches who will stimulate your thinking, support and inspire you, and facilitate lively best practice discussions with your peers.

2. Participation in members-only MasterMind, Mentoring and Special Interest Groups (SIGs). These groups provide tremendous value in terms of specialist knowledge, quality feedback on coaching cases, relationship building and business development.

3. Being considered for coaching opportunities that are offered exclusively to PCMA chapter-affiliated members. Members tell us they develop significant long-running business relationships from these contacts.

4. Posting your profile on PCMA's website where you will be accessible to potential coaching clients worldwide. (We are in the process of upgrading our website to make it more accessible and responsive to the business community.)

5. One annual insert in our monthly electronic newsletter to promote your seminars and publications at no cost to you. Our newsletter reaches over 2,000 readers.

6. Reduced rates to attend monthly meetings and events for any chapter, regardless of your specific chapter affiliation.
